DRAW POhER IN THE DARK.
-Four Blind Men Play a Game With
Peculiar Cards.

Four blind men, graduates of the
Pennsylvania Institute for the Instruc-
ton Of the Blind, played a game of draw
poker one night recently in a room at
the ''Moon and Stars" a quaint old inn
on the Germantown road, and it is
stated that S135 was won by one of the
players, who cleaned out the other
three. The men played with cards Of
very. curious construction, manufac-
tured by man named John Stevens.
who is blind. They were about three
times as thick as the ordinary cards,
and the figures upon them were Suken
and not raised, as is the print commonly
in vogue for reading by the blind. The,
body of the cards bore no marks what
ever, but in the upper left-hand corner
of each were the sunken marks which.
signified the cards value. The
suits were designated by the letters
ID, II, G and S, and the cards by letters
or numbers beneath them. The ace of
spades, for instance, being marked S,
with the figure L beneath and the queen
of hearts II with the letter @ beneath
All four of the players have been using
the cards for some time, and have be-
come quite proficient in handling and
reading them. The winner of the game
was Philip WOrmser.- The winning
hand was four queens Stevens held an
ace high flush, and the other two play
ers held lack full' and a. 'sseyen--
full" respectively. Every man in the
party bet his pile of chips on the result,
and when at last the call was made.
everybody was cleaned out except the
winner. A curious feature. about the
game was that the players played with.
the usual, old, blue and white colored
chips, and distinguished the colors en-,
tirely by means of the sense. of touch.
Mr.. Stevens made his pack of cards with
a sharp pen-knife. He. is. so pleased
with the success of the device, however,

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Detroit in No Immediate Danger
of Losing First Place.


In the National league things have
gone pretty much as expected the past
week, the fayorites getting the lions
share Of the games. Boston is not quite
so good second as week ago, and will
probably fall away a trif1e more this
week.. New York is pretty comfortably
fixed in third place, and its chances of
going higher or lower are not at all
good. Chicago is continually picking
up. The team will get into fourth
place in day or two, and may yet
make Boston and Detroit fight
hard for the pennant. Mark Baldwin
has already developed into a
more successful twirler than
Clarkson. In fact the ex-Duluth
pitcher wins almost every game he
pitches. He sends the ball over the
plate as though shot out of a. cannon,
and the hits made off him are generally
so far apart that they do not count for
much in run getting. Pittsburg is
proving disappointment. The club is
strong in the box when Calvin and Nc
Cormick are pitching, but it does
not bat as it once did. Detroit goes
down to the Smoky City to-day and will
come away with at least two victories.
Washington will doubtless occupy sixth
place at the end of the week. The re-
cord is as follows:

The st. Paul team has played thirty
championship games, but as one of
them resulted in tie it is not counted

batter but by far the best man on long

the best fielding; average, but he is
closely followed by McCauley.. The
latter is also second in batting. In run
getting Murphy has a considerable adj

Those players who have not appeared
in at least ten games are not given rank

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Mr.. CoRCoRAN, the aged Washington
millionaire, who is now dying, next to
the late GEORGE PEABODY has been
the most philanthropic American citizen
of this generation. His benefactions are
innumerable, and have been of kind
to do practical good. He is now past four
score years, but up to recent time pre-
served the full vigor of his physical
strength.
Four years ago this summer the
writer met him at an Eastern summer
resort. He would go into the ball room
every night, and. the evenings festivi-
ties always wound up with an old Vir-
ginia reel led by Mr.. CoRcoRAN. He.
was notably fond of children, and when
ever he appeared on the lawn was sure
to be surrounded by a flock of the
little folks, who were confident that the
kind old man had some amusement in
store for them. And they were never
disappointed.
Among Mr.. CoRcoRAN's numerous
benefactions was the founding of the
Louise home in Washington, for the ac-
commodation of aged ladies who had
been reduced from aff1uence to poverty.
1t was built as a memorial to his wife
and daughter, both Of whom bore the
name of Louise The institution is a
home in fact as we'll as in name, being
provided with all theScomforts and lux
urieS that could be had in a private resi-
dence. There is a full retinue of SER
wants, and carriages and horses for the
use of the inmates, and all subject to
their commands.
The celebrated CoRCoRAN art gallery,
the National capital, is another of his
public benefactions. Although man
of great wealth and exceeding liber-
atty, Mr.. CORCoRAN made it a rule of
his life never to be imposed upon by ex-
tortioners. He would give his check
for $4,000 to a charitable object with
out uttering word, but. would refuse
to pay hackman dollar if he thought
the charge was exorbitant.

The Democratic brethren,
How beautiful they stand.
Arm locked in kind and friendly arm,
Hand clasped in loving hand.
The caviler their love beholds,
And drops admiring tear.
Their foemen, lurking round the folds,
Can scarce forbear to cheer.
The Democratic brethren,
Within their council halls,
No jangling note of discord
Or harshness ever falls.
But feast of reason, flow of soul,
tremendously unite,
And hours on hours sweetly roll
Where all is love and light.
The Democratic brethren,
Their wrongs they ne'er parade.
One hears no bitter, mention
OF service unrepaid;
And, as in stately pageant,
They sweep the streets along,
Their foemen view with terror
A calm, united throng.
The Democratic brethren,
SO perfectly agree,
Heart beats in answer unto heart
In tuneful harmony.
They know no strife nor factions,
Unbroken line they form,
Their foemen flee before them,
Nor dare to meet the storm.

To the Smokers.
REV. T. o. AYRES.

Several years ago we had quite a
social cOmmOtion because the negroes
asked to be seated in the cars with the
white people. There was talk of re-
sorting to legal measures to put them
in or to put them out. The negro
stood firm and the white man stood in
the aisle awhile and then took his seat,
and matters in that line settled down.
But how about the smokers? Well,
they had to get out. White men and
white women accepted the negro as a
travelling companion, but they could
not stand the smokers. White fingers
and black fingers pointed to the smok-
ers' car, and the smokers had to 60.
And now the railroad companies are
compelled to run an extra for this class
of society. The car is usually full of
white men. black men and blue smoke,
but not woman nor child is seen in
that car. The black man lifts his
finger and the white Doctor of Divinity
has to start for the smoker; the black
boot-black lifts his finger and the white
millionaire starts for the smoker; the
scavenger lifts his finger and the Pres
ident of the United States moves Off to
the smoker; the fallen woman lifts her
finger and the minister of the Gospel
starts to the smoking car. No comment.
